Interaction with guests:

When you book Swan View I will send you a copy of my 'Things To Do' and 'Provisions' lists to help plan your holiday and minimise shopping. Your rental covers all costs including all beverages, breakfast cereals, cookies kids drinks and many other provisions (even birthday candles!).
An honesty bar of cola, beers, wines and spirits is also available at supermarket prices, just pay in the piggy bank.
On your arrival day I will meet you at Swan View, show you where everything is, answer any questions and hand over the keys.
On your departure day just leave used towels in the bath, sign the visitors book and I will pop round for the keys.
If you have had a great stay then please provide feedback on Tripadviser.
